Attorney Kate Millholland grew up on Chicago's Gold Coast, an accessory to her socialite mother. Now she lives in a rough Hyde Park neighborhood, works long hours for demanding clients, and eats cold takeout for breakfast. Then Kate takes her mother on as a client, and her legal career takes an unexpected turn.
The sale of her family's charitable hospital to a greedy corporation has Kate's mother up in arms. And when Kate enters the fray, she finds a shocking secret: Patients are mysteriously dying at Prescott Memorial Hospital. Kate is dead certain that a killer is on the loose--and for proof, she has to look no closer than home. . . .
This is the first Hartzmark book that I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Family charity hospital is about to be sold to a money grubbing corporation (maybe that's redundant) and attorney Millholland tries to stop the sale. There is also a murderer loose in the hospital and the attorney doesn't get along with her mother very well. Recommended to mystery fans.
